Welcome to all not wanting to vote, not able to vote or just annoyed by the US presidential election taking over Lemmy and other social media.

Coming here to argue about voting will result in a ban.

Be kind to each other & follow the server rules.

Be specifically aware that not everyone here is from the so called USA.

Text: screenshot of a Tumblr thread reading:

Every day I am forced to confront that the the Democratic Party won the White House and Congress in 2020 and instead of doing the smart thing and ending the filibuster, packing the court, and going scorched Earth on the GOP which, mind you, had just tried to overthrow the election, they kicked back and proceeded to do absolutely nothing of note except cut a blank check for the most televised genocide of the last 30 years.

A disciplined party could have un-fucked everything trump did in the span of a few month, but they chose not to. They chose not to, and now we're all paying for it.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Did you only read half of my comment or something?

If anything you're the one confusing democrats with progressives here.

Democrats won 48 seats in the senate that year. Republicans won 50. And 2 were independent. Democrats did not control the senate, this is a fact.

As I've said in my last comment if you want to talk about party affiliationbto include Manchin and senma, then you don't get to include the independents.

Democrats did not have a majority in the senate, that is just a fact. You can argue against facts if you want, but all your doing is trying to twist reality to fit your argument.

Also using Trumps lawb breaking and fascist actions as proof Biden could also have broken laws and been a fascist if he wanted to is not only wrong, since the rest of his part is not yes men that agree with him being fascist, but obviously morally wrong.
